Comments: My goal for the race was 3:30 or under, but I realized early on that I wouldn’t get my goal for this race. I arrived somewhat late due to poor directions, bad traffic around LP field, and extremely long and slow lines at the porta potties. I started the race about 30 min late, crossing the starting matt with corral 14, rather than corral 4 to which I was assigned. Consequently, I spent the first several miles dodging slower runners. Originally, the weather peeps were calling for rain for the whole race. Fortunately, once the race started the rain never came, and the weather cleared up. It was extremely humid for most of the race, and got very hot and sunny by the end. What would you do differently?: Not take a wrong turn for starters! :-) Other than that, I had a fairly sold race. I might have worn a different shirt to try to combat the humidity a little better. Post race
Warm down: Fluids and salty snacks at the finish line. Plenty of stretching while waiting for my girlfriend to finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: Staring in corral 14 rather than 4 caused me to do a lot of weaving. The weather was a little warmer and more humid than I had hoped.

As always, got everything prepared the night before. When the alarm went off I pulled on my clothes, grabbed my bag, & brewed a cup of coffee to wake me up.
Standing in line for the porta-potties.
